Instructions

Step 1

Preparation of Ingredients

Before you start, make sure to take the butter and cream cheese out of the refrigerator at least an hour in advance. This helps them reach the optimal temperature of about 21 degrees Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit).

Having the right temperature is crucial for achieving a creamy texture in your frosting.

Step 2

Making the Buttercream

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with the powdered sugar on high speed for about 5 minutes. This will help incorporate air, making the mixture fluffy.

If desired, you can add cocoa powder for a chocolate version by mixing it at this stage.

Step 3

Incorporating Cream Cheese

Next, add the cream cheese to the mixture and beat on low speed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture.

Step 4

Finalizing the Frosting

Once mixed, gently fold the frosting using a silicone spatula to remove any air bubbles. This step is important for a smooth finish when decorating the cake.

Step 5

Decorating the Cake

Using a piping bag filled with your buttercream frosting, cover the entire surface of the cake. Ensure an even layer for a professional look.

Feel free to add your chosen decorative items such as soft pearls and the chocolate unicorn figurine for a whimsical touch!

Faq

  • Can I use a hand mixer instead of an electric mixer?

    Yes, you can! A hand mixer will work just fine, though it may take a bit longer to achieve that fluffy consistency.

  • What if my cream cheese is too cold?

    Make sure to let your cream cheese and butter sit out for about an hour at room temperature before using them. This ensures they mix properly for a smooth frosting.

  • Can I make this cake a day in advance?

    Absolutely! Just make sure to store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh. Decorate right before serving for the best presentation.

  • How long should I whip the cream cheese frosting?

    Mix until just combined with low speed after adding cheese. Overbeating can lead to a less stable frosting, so keep it gentle!

  • How do I prevent my cake layers from sticking to the pan?

    Grease your pans adequately with butter or oil and dust with flour, or for an easier option, line them with parchment paper!

  • Can I decorate the cake with fresh flowers?

    Yes, fresh flowers can be a beautiful decoration! Just ensure they are non-toxic and safe for consumption.
